Fun Mountain bike activities for boys and girls at the original Olympic Velodrome

The London Olympic cycling in 1948 was at held at the Herne Hill Velodrome. Yes way before Bradley Wiggins started here we had Olympic champions racing round! Its still here and flourishing so you can participate in all types of fun cycling activities.

Herne Hill Youth Cycling Club has been running off road sessions for over 15 years at this historic venue, encouraging, coaching and having fun on Saturdays and beyond. We can help you improve your skills and fitness from Beginner level right up to National champion, run family events and reach out to schools and other groups.

Minimum age of 6 applies We ask that parents of children under 8 must stay during the session. We also ask that you come to the 10 am session if you are coming for the first time.

Its best to learn on your own bike, but if you can't bring one...Bike Hire £1, helmet free

For the Saturday sessions, just turn up and off we go! No need to book.You just need to be able to pedal unaided on your bike....

HHYCCs main activity every Saturday is off road Go Ride coaching, Mountain biking and Cyclo cross,(though we also ride on the track and the road too).

Yes the UK's only urban MTB here in London and our purpose built circuit changes with the weather and we ride though snow and sun.

We run additional coaching and activities for the over 12's, preparing them to become better riders and racers. The sessions include a regular road ride with the Dulwich Paragon, enhanced track sessions, winter mid week roller sessions, summer lung busting MTB sessions and much much more - even Mountain biking in Bromley! See our Over 12s section...

If the thrill of no brakes a banked track and fixed gear excites you come join in. We'll show you how it's done and we provide bikes and coaches. Once you've tasted it, you'll just want more!

Public sessions:Childrens sessions Saturdays 9-10 and Friday 5-6 see the Velodrome website for more details and race calendar
